Crawlspaces are dark, dirty and humid places with plenty of wood to eat. This doesn’t describe where you or I would like to live but for many insects and mold, it’s the perfect environment! Crawl space repair and encapsulation is a great way to avoid many problems like these and is a growing specialty service for PestFree pest control in Seattle, Washington who transforms moist, damaged and poor energy performing crawl spaces into dry, protected and energy efficient spaces.

Two Birds, One Stone

Crawl space repair and encapsulation solves both insect and mold problems. First, there are the insects that prosper in such settings, like termites and other wood boring insects. Along with these insects often comes the additional fungus growth that can alter the air quality in the home, heightening allergies and asthma symptoms and also bringing the possibility of structural damage. In the past this had been a problem that was fought and often times lost. Fortunately, with so many recent technological advancements, there are now solutions to many of these problems.

Protect Your Investment and Your Environment

Crawl space repair and encapsulation is a great way to protect your investment as well as ridding your environment of the damp odor that comes with these problems. It is important to get the right man for the job so that it is done appropriately. Advanced Pest Management APM in Elkton, Maryland offers expert crawlspace encapsulation and moisture control that result in improved energy efficiency and air quality.

The approaches by PestFree on the West Coast and APM on the East Coast are both comprehensive;

the area is thoroughly inspected

any infestations are eliminated

clean up and removal of existing insulation

spraying of a bacteria-enzyme odor control (or sanitizing the whole area)

installation of new form free insulation and 6mil plastic to stop moisture releasing from the earth

hot and cold water pipes are wrapped

access exclusion to prevent pests, rodents and wildlife from returning

Professional pest control companies like these transform your musty crawl spaces into clean, dry and energy efficient spaces. And because they are exterminators by trade, they are best equipped to deal with any pest infestations you may encounter.

]]>All pest control professionals have encountered bed bug infestations throughout their career. The National Pest Management Association found that 99.6% of pest control companies have encountered a bed bug infestation in the last year alone. According to 76% of pest control professionals, the NPMA also found, bed bugs are the most difficult pest to eradicate, much more so than termites or cockroaches. Bed bugs are challenging to exterminate partially because of their growing immunity to pesticides, but also because of their quick rate of reproduction. Ask any of the 1 in 5 home or business owners who have experienced a bed bug infestation and they will agree- the bed bug problem needs a practical solution.

Until recently, there was no effective way to prevent a bed bug infestation. The Bed Protector, just launched by Pest Assure, is about to change that. The Bed Protector is bed bug trap comprised of a simple barrier between the mattress and you, but it is designed with slick polymer sides that bed bugs cannot climb which keeps them from you. They become trapped between the mattress and the cover, which they cannot pierce through, and will die off without access to a blood meal. If bed bugs are unable to feed they will not breed and the infestation ends before it can start. The Bed Protector is not only affordable, but also the easiest and most effective method of bed bug prevention and treatment that can go anywhere you go. Used in conjunction with professional bed bug control, the Bed Protector can keep bed bugs at bay and give you peace of mind against this invasive pest.

]]>For many pest control operators, pest control service sales are lower in the winter when compared to the hot summer months. Some pest control companies have even built ancillary businesses around their “slower” season. Christmas decoration installation is a popular choice and is a great way to keep pest control technician crews busy for 6 weeks before Christmas and even a few weeks after. Here are a few interesting data points about the Christmas holiday and why holiday decoration and Christmas light installation might be an attractive opportunity for you company.

Christmas is by far the most popular holiday in America; 76% of people say it is their favorite holiday and the most wonderful time of the year. This time of year, Christmas can be seen everywhere you go. Most stores don’t even wait until Halloween to start stocking up on Christmas items and soon the radio will be playing carols non-stop. But there are certain aspects of Christmas that not everyone enjoys. In a recent survey conducted, 55% of people said that their least favorite part of Christmas is taking down the decorations.

Christmas can quickly turn from joyous to dangerous when holiday lighting is involved. With an average of 1,300 people ending up in the emergency room every year from injuries related to holiday lighting, hanging a sign like this one in front of your home could be tempting. (But which house do you like more….?) Despite that, 87 percent of people say Christmas decorations make them happy and enhance the holiday experience.

Decorating for Christmas can be dangerous and it can also become expensive. In 2011, Americans spent $6 Billion on Christmas decorations alone, and spent another $3.4 billion just on Christmas trees. On average Americans spent $850 on Christmas in 2012 and while the largest portion is spent on gifts, a fairly large sum is spent every year repairing, or buying new Christmas decorations.

Wouldn’t it be great to see a beautiful Christmas light display without putting any of the blood, sweat or tears into it? The Christmas song “The 12 Pains of Christmas” aptly describes how a typical holiday lighting attempt goes:

I’m tryin’ to rig up these lights!

What, we have no extension cords!?

Now why the heck are they blinking!?

One light goes out, they all go out!

Get a flashlight I blew a fuse!

Companies that offer holiday installation installation deliver much more than your peace of mind and a beautiful light display. Full service holiday lighting can also include the following features:

A unique, customized design for your property

Detailed, safe, and timely installation

Service and Maintenance of lighting and decorations

Hassle-free take down services

The lights and decorations are yours to keep and we can even store them for you!

]]>If you’re wondering where companies come up with such great ideas for new and innovative pest control methods, equipment and technology, you should look to the pest professionals themselves. Oftentimes, a pest control professional will come upon a pest problem that presents a challenge. If there is enough pain in the process of controlling the pest, the professional is almost forced to find new innovative ways to control the pest. Difficulty in controlling certain pests usually manifests itself in the form of frequent callbacks to the same infestation or simply high-cost methods of pest management. These new ways to control pests are usually more economical, less time consuming and even safer than older methods. Inventing and testing pest management equipment and pesticide products is a growing industry. Snell Scientifics is a company that can test the efficacy of pesticides on pests and even help develop a pesticide for more efficient or safer control. They also help clients navigate the approval process with the EPA. Snell Scientifics is a pest research company that operates a full pest research lab in Georgia.

]]>In many parts of Colorado, land and mountain property owners struggle year in and year out with destructive ground squirrels. Ground squirrels in Colorado cause damage to land owners by tunneling through large networks of intricate tunnel systems beneath the soil and sod. They belong to the squirrel family of rodents and can sometimes be spotted hanging out on their two back legs. For land owners, and especially those with livestock cattle, or horses, ground squirrel holes can be a huge risk for expensive pets and animals to fall and even break a leg. Obviously, this is a threat worth taking seriously and effective ground squirrel control in Colorado is a growing business. That’s why local Colorado pest control company RAM Pest Control has invested in new technology and equipment call the Burrow Blocker.

This system injects sand and water into the ground squirrel tunnels and almost instantly seals the holes shut. Ground squirrels inside die and those remaining on the outside must leave to inhabit or start a new tunnel system elsewhere.

]]>From October 22nd-25th, pest control professionals gathered from around the world to attend the annual PestWorld Convention in Phoenix, Arizona. Every year, thousands of pest management professionals have the opportunity to come together and learn from industry leaders and researchers and PestNet Media was happy to be there once again.

The convention, hosted by National Pest Management Association, was not lacking in educational opportunities, featuring classes on almost every topic imaginable in the industry, from new exotic bug discoveries to how to motivate staff. In addition, extended thought leader sessions were available, featured on hard hitting industry topics, such as marketing strategies, canine scent detection, and how to best improve your pest control company.

If the amount of classes offered seems overwhelming (they had a whole catalog dedicated to class scheduling and their descriptions) it is nothing compared to the networking possibilities offered by over 3,000 industry professionals, researchers, and vendors. Beyond basic networking, being immersed in the world’s largest pest management industry trade show means that companies also had access to the most modern advances available in the field. These new trends in the industry are often the solution a struggling company may have been looking for.
